Summer 2007

If you have not seen sub-plots being woven intermittently without really connecting to the core plot, bet you can get your desire fulfilled with Summer 2007. The director Suhail Tatari has the boiling issue of farmers committing suicide as the main plot, also has subplots of medical campus, college politics, the tyranny of money lending landlords and finally roping in an awakening change. The film would have been much better if it could co-relate the sub-plots or ideally concentrated on a single plot.

We find a team of 5 medical students leading a lavish and carefree urban life. Rahul (Sikander Kher), Priyanka (Uvika Choudhary), Qateel (Arjan Bajwa),Bagani (Alekh Sangal) and Vishaka (Gul Panag) forms the group, each with some typical college nicknames. These folks take up rural internship to avoid the university elections, which has taken the initial chunk of the movie. The rural village in Maharashtra deprived of amenities and the farmers committing suicide. This takes the group through a soul searching sojourn seeing the pitiful state of the poverty stricken people out there, helped by Mukya (Ashutosh Rana) the village doctor.

Suddenly the script diverts attention to the money lending zamindar (Vikram Gokhale) from the village and his son (Prashant Narayanan) who take advantage of the villagers by charging exorbitant interest rates.
